What's a locked hock?
One of the beautiful things about the list is I get to talk to folks abouts
gsds that I might never ever see.
The bad thing is I can't always picture what's described here.

I say, if they have a locked hock, let's eat them. It solves the problem inthe
breed,
and cuts down on our food bill at the same time A win/win situation. Evan

Evan,That won't work--we'll never have another major at a dog show, since
there
are a heck of a lot of locked hocks being shown! hehehe Penny in NY
========================================================
That seems to be the case at many shows. It appears to me that in the
fascination for seeking the extra inch of front extension..... our Breed is
seriously
lacking in it's major force of movement.......the powerful rear thrust from a
correct
and powerful driving rear......and a good back to transmit that power through
to
the front. The best solution for many of the dogs is to rotate the stifle
outward in
the rear follow through to keep from dragging it's toes.....
A dog like that cannot stop and twist and turn to herd sheep....and we are
losing
the tails as rudders for balance.......they are more like a dead flopping rag.
No wonder our handlers are holding the dogs up and holding them together to
navigate a few turns around the ring. No wonder we're dependent upon our
handlers to have a powerful left arm......we don't have that power in our
dogs.<G>
Kill me now................<G>......I'm useless on the food chain anyway. <G>
